Almonds are a good idea. I usually bring a little container of roasted nuts to work so I can snack on them all day. I'm also a big fan of Kind bars, especially the sea salt and dark chocolate bar.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Nora, are you thinking of buying something in NO?
Thinking about it vaguely. It's not something we need to do, but I liked the look of this place despite the work it needs and the location is right next to a super booming area.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sociopaths are not all criminals! They may determine that it's disadvantageous to commit crimes. There are reputedly a lot of them in high finance where having no conscience is useful.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Burrell, that's rough.
I'm perfectly willing to accept that there are plenty of sociopaths out there. I'm just thinking if I were a sociopath I wouldn't tell anyone. Unless sociopaths put a high value on honesty, but why would they?
Not according to the DSM! Being a poopy lie head is a diagnostic criteria!
I mean, neither socio or psychopath is a diagnosis--it's all anti-social personality disorder, as mentioned above. There's some weaseling around where some professionals use them to distinguish between nurture made and nature made. All that said, I'm not 100% sold on the whole concept of personality disorders as currently defined, given the givens, the demographics generally labelled as such, and given the softness of the science when it comes to mental health issues.
I mean, fuck, it's not all that far removed from humours at times.

PS, for shits and giggles and eyerolls, y'all should lurk on ASPD forums.
In which many of them whine about how much more sympathetically aspies are treated, because the aspies have better press. (Which leads to my entirely specious notion that many people diagnosed with or suspecting they have ASPD are just asswipes who happen to be on the spectrum.)

Meaning the new DSM-V? I haven't read it over, but I've heard a lot of grousing from my therapist friends about the new criteria and diagnoses.

Period. DSM-IV or V.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Sociopaths are not all criminals! They may determine that it's disadvantageous to commit crimes. There are reputedly a lot of them in high finance where having no conscience is useful.
Or, sometimes the scandal isn't the crimes people commit. It's that so many of the things they do are perfectly legal.
